New Delhi. Rahul Gandhi is agitating against vote theft, SIR and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Rahul Gandhi says that his movement is successful among the youth, but only leaders close to Rahul have a different opinion. Overseas Congress President Sam Pitroda said in an interview to India Today that the protests against SIR have not had much impact on Gen G i.e. the new generation.
Congress Overseas chief Sam Pitroda says the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) protest has failed to resonate with Gen Z, arguing that education and jobs are higher on their priority list than electoral roll revision.
Listen in to his conversation with @Scribe_Rahul.

Sam Pitroda said in the interview that the youth of India are paying more attention to education and employment instead of the issue of SIR. For this reason, less participation of youth has been seen in the protests against SIR than the issue of NEET paper leak. Sam Pitroda said that the young generation is giving priority to employment, good education and better health services. Sam Pitroda refuted the allegations that the protests against the government were carried out under external pressure. He said that the youth have been inspired by the historical leaders of India.
At the same time, Sam Pitroda while talking to news agency PTI has told about Rahul Gandhi's visit to America. Pitroda said that Rahul Gandhi's first program is an informal discussion at Columbia University on November 17. In this discussion, the growing impact of student movements across the world, the meaning of movements, how movements are seen in India and the impact of movements on democracy as well as education, employment, economy and environment will be discussed. Rahul Gandhi will then discuss West Asia, war with Iran and other geopolitical and global issues with Professor Dr. Robert Pape at the University of Chicago on November 18. Let us tell you that Sam Pitroda has been handling the responsibility of organizing all the foreign programs of Rahul Gandhi. However, his statements also give BJP an opportunity to attack against Congress.
